SMF105 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The SMF105 is a metric single row deep groove ball bearing engineered for precision radial load applications. Constructed entirely from stainless steel (rings, balls, and cage), it offers excellent corrosion resistance. Its compact design, with a 5 mm bore and a total weight of just 1 gram, makes it ideal for space-constrained, high-precision assemblies. The bearing operates effectively within a temperature range of -30°C to 110°C and is compliant with RoHS and REACH standards, ensuring suitability for demanding industrial and technical applications.
SMF105 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Model Segment | Interpretation | Technical Significance |
|---|---|---|
| SMF105 | Standard Model Number | Denotes a specific size series with a 5mm bore and 10mm outside diameter. |
| (No Suffix) | Open, Unsealed | The bearing is supplied without seals or shields, allowing for higher limiting speeds and easy re-lubrication, but requires a clean operating environment. |
| - | Standard Internal Clearance (MC3) | Features a MC3 radial internal clearance (0.002mm to 0.013mm), suitable for a wide range of general applications. |
| - | ABEC1 Tolerance | Manufactured to ABEC1 precision class, ensuring reliable performance for standard duty applications. |
SMF105 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- All-Stainless-Steel Construction: Provides superior corrosion resistance, making the bearing suitable for harsh environments, including those with exposure to moisture or chemicals.
- Deep Groove Raceway: Optimized for handling radial dynamic loads (rated at 74 lbf) and moderate axial loads in both directions.
- High-Speed Capability: The open design and stainless steel cage contribute to a high limiting speed of 45,000 rpm, ideal for fast-rotating spindles and small motors.
- Precision Engineering: Tight dimensional tolerances on the bore diameter, outside diameter, and width ensure smooth operation and easy installation into precision housings.
- Flanged Outer Ring: The integrated flange (11.2 mm diameter) simplifies axial location and mounting, reducing assembly time and cost.
